ProcessHandle::getPid

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Mark,

That's an unfortunate artifact of evolution.
Process.getPid() was added early in 2014 and ProcessHandle a year later.

Several iterations of ProcessHandle API explored Process being a 
subclass of ProcessHandle
so the method names would be the same.  When ProcessHandle was decoupled 
from Process
the method name was retained for consistency.
